(Phil McCausland) Attorney General William Barr blamed the violent protests that have swept across major cities in the United States on “anarchic and far-left extremist groups” in a brief public address on Saturday.
Barr began a brief public address Saturday by saying that the criminal justice system at both the state and federal levels will continue to investigate and pursue justice in the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody on Monday.

(Jason Lemon) Ben Crump, the attorney representing George Floyd’s family, has called on the United Nations to intervene and investigate the circumstances around the middle-aged black man’s death and to make recommendations about law enforcement reforms.
“Among the reforms requested were deescalating techniques, independent prosecutions and autopsies for every extrajudicial police killing in an effort to stop further human rights abuses including torture and extrajudicial killings of African Americans to protect their inherent and fundamental human right to life,” Crump said in a statement about the June 3 letter sent to the U.N.
British anti-racism protestors called for the destruction of Egypt’s Giza Pyramids on Sunday, after tearing down a statue of a slave trader in the city of Bristol and throwing it in the Avon river, CNN reported Monday.
(John Vibes) Disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein is surely one of the most hated people in the United States, but he seems to still be welcomed and even defended in some Hollywood circles.
Earlier this week, Weinstein was invited to an event called Actor’s Hour that was taking place in Lower Manhattan at the Downtime bar.
Kelly Bachman, one of the comedians scheduled to perform at the event, was shocked and horrified to see Weinstein in the audience upon her arrival. To her surprise, no one else seemed to think it was a big deal—or at the very least, none of them had the courage to say anything about it.
